I will wave my arms wildly at the last eight years if the claim is that humans do not struggle with recall.
The point is that the ways in which it fails is completely different from LLMs and it's different between people whereas the failure modes for LLMs are all fairly identical regardless of the model. Go ask an LLM to draw you a wine glass filled to the brim and it'll keep insisting it does even though it keeps drawing one half-filled and agree that the one it drew doesn't have the characteristics it says such a drawing would need and still output the exact same drawing. Most people would not fail at the task in that way.
